stamped on the "knock out" plug
in the key head. Your Chevrolet

keys in the special key envelope
that was given to you at time of
delivery. For your protection:
• Record the numbers on the key
envelope and discard the key
plugs.
• Keep the key envelope in a safe
place such

lost, duplicates can be made by
your dealer
or a locksmith using
the key code information.
Be sure
to lock the glove box or
console compartments and remove
the key from the car whenever it
is
necessary to leave the ignition key
with an attendant.

The windshield defrosting and
defogging system assists in provid­
ing good visibility through desig­
nated areas of the windshield under
most inclement weather conditions.
For immediate operation of the
vehicle, the windshield should be
scraped clear.
AIR-DEF Lever
Pushing the AIR-DEF lever to
the right allows air to pass through
the system. Maximum airflow
is
obtained in the AIR position. Ad­
just
TEMP (lower) level as re­
quired to give desired degree of
heat. Full right position provides
maximum heat.
Further movement to the right
of the AIR-DEF lever directs the
airflow through the defroster out­
lets as desired when windshield de-frosting
is needed. At the DEF po­
sition (full right) the entire airflow
is diverted to the defroster outlets.
Vary
TEMP lever as required.
Fan
The fan lever has four (4) posi­
tions from off at the top
to high
at the bottom.
Operate system for
30 seconds
before switching to DEF. This will
remove humid air from the system
and minimize rapid fogging of the
glass which can occur if humid air
is blown onto a cool windshield.

Heater Operating Tips
• Clear snow and ice from hood
and air inlet

shield to improve heater and de­
froster efficiency and reduce the
probability of fogging on inside
of windshield.
• Clear windshield, rear window,
outside mirrors and all side win­
dows of ice and snow before
driving vehicle.
• Operate blower on "HIGH" for
a
few seconds before moving the
